Left a good job in the city (c'mon y'all)   Workin' for the man every night and day   And I never lost one minute of sleep   And I was worried about the way things might have been      Big wheel keep on turnin'   Proud Mary keep on burnin'   And we're rolling, rolling yeah   Rolling on a river      Well I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis, yeah   Pumped a lot of tanks in New Orleans   But I never saw the good side of the city   Till I hitched a ride on the river boat Queen      Big wheel keep on turning   Proud Mary keep on burning   And we're rolling, rolling, yeah   Rolling on a river (c'mon y'all)      Rolling, yeah, rolling, yeah   Rolling on a river   River doo doo doo   Doo doo doo doo   Doo doo doo      Hey, alright, hey hey hey hey hey
